Elote - Mexican Grilled Corn on the Cob - Grilling Time Side Dish

Yesterday I posted a really terrific Hamburger, the Summer Tomato Burger. This is what I served as a side dish.

Elote is a common Mexican street vendor food. the corn is boiled and customers add a variety of toppings. I decided to grill mine (since I had the grill fired up for the burgers), but the idea is basically the same. I was doing a couple of hours of prep work for a big end of summer BBQ I was hosting for Labor Day. This quickie side dish was perfect for a fast grill session. The whole meal was done in about 15 minutes!

And of course, DELICIOUS!

OK... Here's what I did...

Elote - GrilledMexican Corn on the Cob

Ingredients

4 Cobs of Corn

1/2 CupMayonnaise

Zest of 1 MediumLime

Juice of 1 MediumLime

1/2 Cup Cotija Cheese, grated

Optional, Cayenne pepper to taste

Cooking Directions

30 minutes before you start to grill, remove husks and hair from the corn, soak in cold water up to 1 hour.

Over direct medium heat, put corn on the grill, turn 1/4 turn every three minutes.

Meanwhile, mix the Mayonnaise and the juice of a lime.

After 12 minutes, the corn is cooked through and grill marks have formed on the corn. Generously spread 1/4 of the mayo/lime mix on the hot corn, covering evenly
